Perhaps the heart we speak of in emotional terms—the heart that loves, that breaks, that yearns—is not found in any chamber or node. It’s an illusion, or perhaps a metaphor, for something ...

A few years ago, biomedical scientist Jonathan Tsui flew to Florida with unique baggage. He toted compact chambers—smaller than a cell phone—containing 48 bits of human heart tissue.

The cells' 3D housing was designed to mimic the environment of an adult human heart in a chamber half the size of a cell phone. To get the tissues aboard the SpaceX CRS-20 mission, which launched in ...
